Add a Filter to the Battle Roster - Poll & Discussion

The one change I loved in 2016 was the filter added the Roster Reward screen. It made it so much easier to sell covers (e.g. all 1*'s) without micromanaging all of your rewarded covers. Recently the devs applied the filer to the Roster screen by Rarity Tier. It's helpful and I do often use it. However, the filter was not applied to the Battle Roster screen. It is still cumbersome to find a specific character to use for battle in PVP or PVE. Normally it's not a huge deal but during events with multiple boosted characters such as the current Combined Arms PVP, I had a difficult time trying to find my few 2*'s mixed in with over 100 characters. It is also a problem in PVP when I want to view my opponent's roster, I have to look through pages and pages to find out how many covers a specific character has.

It seems like an easy fix but it won't be worth the dev's time unless we voice our opinions. Above is a poll and feel free to discuss below.

(yes I understand we still have a lot of bugs and testing issues, but these small changes make the game more user friendly and better overall)

    Other - Yes, but take it a step further and add a filter to the TU send screen too!

    It's irritating paging through endless pages of characters when I want to send my Juggernaut and MBW team ups to an alliance mate, and then I come to the end where all of my locked characters who can't send TUs are and have to go back a page because I just impatiently tap the arrow over and over.

    I voted yes, but I think I would prefer the roster to just be separated by star tier, not level. I would like the choice to filter between how it's ordered too, like pokemon go. Level, alphabetical, health, or colors.
    My usable 4*s are now mixed in between higher champ level 3*s. My (non strange or thanos) 3*s are all champed and it is hard to remember which ones have more champ levels than the other. Would like to put them alphabetical

    Yes that is what the poll is for, a filter to separate by star tier (rarity) like we currently have for the Reward screen. I definitely agree with having more filter choices, and Pokémon Go is the perfect example. I would love to be able to also filer by Favorite (most used), Boosted (for the event), Most Health, etc.

    I gotta say, as much as I love Combined Arms, finding my 3* and 2* characters was a complete mess... minutes to click through numerous pages!

    That would really be helpful.

    Another option would be to take a hint from Future Fight, where you can store up to five preset teams.

    Yes. On a related note, maybe they can squeeze in a fix for the way duplicate characters always seem to be selected, as well.

    I don't mind it as much in team selection (since I usually use the same characters each day) but for training... it's a pain to locate which character I rarely use to pump ISO into them.

    I would like to at least filter by * on the training screen.

    Use the Roster screen to easily find who you want to Train. I never use the Train screen anymore since they added the Filter to the Roster screen.

    Yes to this. When pairing different tier characters, I keep spamming the right arrow until I get to the roster clump that I need. It would be much simpler to have a drop-down button that sorted by rarity within the battle character select screen.

    This is what I want. Preset teams, or at least a "favorite" option that automatically moves them to the front. (but I'd prefer Preset teams, so those like my Big Enchilada team that only get used once a day are steal easy to get to, without having to give up a "favorite" spot)

    It is a little silly that in order to find a specific character, I have to remember exactly what their level is, and in particular what their boosted level is, like if we're in something like Combined Arms.

    I am shocked by the lack of responses and votes. It is clear we need a filter added to the battle roster. Please vote your support.

    This is such a minor QOL change that I'm surprised the same code on the Roster wasn't applied to all areas where a roster can be viewed:
    * Team Up selection
    * Battle prep
    * Opponent view.
